If Rice is like Northwestern (where I did my Ph.D.), upper level undergraduate/lower level graduate courses are one and the same

Nope. Very few shared courses. I’m taking one graduate course this semester, but it isn’t required and is very clearly specified as a grad course that seniors only can take as electives.

Grad students at Rice are kind of a separate group. I’ve had very little interaction with them, except for as TAs, up into this year (when I found out their pub has $.95 beer).
